Vitamins are fat-soluble or water-soluble organic chemicals necessary in small amounts for good health. Humans require 13 different types of vitamins for normal function and must obtain them from plant and animal foods in their diet. Vitamins A, C and E are antioxidants. B vitamins are important in metabolic activity and in making red blood cells.
